Meanwhile, Andy Cannon continues his rehabilitation against the Premier League side’s under-21s.

He’s made just two first-team appearances since his January arrival from Rochdale, but today’s game will be another step towards full fitness for the midfielder.

Bryn Morris also had a spell on the treatment table with a groin problem. He's starts for Jake Wigley’s side, after coming on as a substitute in the 4-1 win over the Dale on Saturday.

However, Dion Donohue is not involved, despite being earmarked to make an appearance following a groin complaint.

There is also no place for loanees James Vaughan or Lloyd Isgrove.

The January arrivals, from Wigan and Barnsley respectively, were also not included on the bench against Rochdale.

Pompey: Bass, Mnoga, Walkes, Casey, Haunstrup, Morris, May, Lethbridge, Cannon, Solomon-Otabor, Dennis.
